A man was hospitalized in critical condition after he was shot by El Cerrito police officers Thursday evening, authorities said.

Officers said they received a report of a domestic disturbance at 6:40 p.m. at a Chevron gas station at San Pablo and Potrero avenues.

When officers arrived, they found a man "armed with a handgun, pistol-whipping a woman," police said in a statement. Two officers then shot the man, who was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, police said. The suspect's name was not released.
